Well, you can keep both of them

Tempting, lol. But no.

The O2X arrived and first impressions are good, I prefer the look and feel of it over the Nexus S. The Nexus feels very cheaply made and looks like a canoe due to the curved screen. The O2X feels like a classy bit of kit in comparison.

It is charging now so I will get to play with it later.

Yes, the LG o2X looks much better. If it has the software stability/smoothness of Nexus S it will be the best phone ever.

So funny. I write a message about how all the problems are sorted then the alarm failed this morning. Something to be careful of on the O2X (alarm sometimes doesnt go off whilst phone is charging)

I have had that before. Sometimes the clock gets 'stuck' and doesn't update until you wake the phone up and you miss the alarm. It has happened to me only once so far. Never happened on V20O though.

stonebear, I'd wait for Paul's GR6 which is based on V20O before deciding. I am using a stock unoptimised version of V20O and it is already much better than anything I have seen in the past and I am confident that once Paul works his magic on it, it will be close to perfect.

At 200 quid a pop, I'd go for the O2X over the Nexus S as it is just so much nicer hardware-wise. It is easy to mod, almost unbrickable and there are so many ROMs and custom kernels to play with.

Thanks, I have to decide within 2 weeks as I now have both phones and can only return the Nexus S within two weeks. I am pretty sure I will be returning it though, the O2X has much better hardware and I am sure I will be able to get perfect software for it soon, so many people are developing for it. Maybe Pauls will be the one.

I also have found out how to return the Nexus S to GB for returning it. http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1062801 It seems I can flash this from CWM and on first boot it overwrites the recovery, therefore wiping CWM.
